‘April is the cruellest month’ to T.S. Eliot, but frankly speaking, it is not that bad, especially if you love to travel! April marks the arrival of summer in India, and after a pleasant spring, our mind seeks to relax and chill in a distant place!

If you are planning to visit Kashmir, April is the perfect time to enjoy the best of both worlds! In simple words, it is the only time you will get snow in Gulmarg while the famous Tulip garden will be in full bloom and open for the tourists!
While the plain gets hotter, the weather in Kashmir in April is pleasant, and you can get the best view of snow-clad mountains and valleys full of blossoms on bright sunny days!

One of the coldest and most picturesque hill stations, Dalhousie is any day a summer retreat in India. You can easily get lost in nature amidst the tall pine trees and soak in the beauty of this place.
